¹⁷⁹ Sacramentum.

¹⁸⁰ See Isa. xi. 1, 2, especially in LXX.

¹⁸¹ See Luke i. 27.

¹⁸² See Luke ii. 1-7.

¹⁸³ See Isa. liii. 3, 7, in LXX.; and comp. Ps. xxxviii. 17 (xxxvii. 18 in LXX.) in the "Great Bible" of 1539.

¹⁸⁴ See Isa. xlii. 2, 3, and Matt. xii. 19, 20.

¹⁸⁵ See Isa. lviii. 1, 2, especially in LXX.

¹⁸⁶ See Isa. xxxv. 4, 5, 6.

¹⁸⁷ See John v. 17, 18, compared with x. 31-33.

¹⁸⁸ Comp. Deut. xxi. 23 with Gal. iii. 13, with Prof. Lightfoot on the latter passage.

¹⁸⁹ Deut. xxi. 22, 23 (especially in the LXX.).

¹⁹⁰ See 1 Pet. ii. 22 with Isa. liii. 9.

¹⁹¹ Oehler's pointing is disregarded.

¹⁹⁸ Sacramentum.

²⁰⁰ Lignum = culon; constantly used for "tree."

²⁰¹ Comp. Gen. xxii. 1-10 with John xix. 17.

²⁰² "Christum figuratus" is Oehler's reading, after the two mss. and the Pamelian ed. of 1579; the rest read "figurans" or "figuravit".

²⁰³ Manifested e.g., in his two dreams. See Gen xxxvii.

²⁰⁴ Comp. Rom. ix. 5.

²⁰⁵ Or, "Judah."

²⁰⁶ This is an error. It is not "his father," Jacob, but Moses, who thus blesses him. See Deut. xxxiii. 17. The same error occurs in adv. Marc. 1. iii. c. xxiii.

²⁰⁷ Not strictly "the same;" for here the reference is to Gen. xlix. 5-7.

²⁰⁸ i.e., Simeon and Levi.

²⁰⁹ i.e., the scribes and Pharisees.

²¹⁰ Perfecerunt iniquitatem ex sua secta. There seems to be a play on the word "secta" in connection with the outrage committed by Simeon and Levi, as recorded in Gen. xxxiv. 25-31; and for sunete/lesan a0diki/a/ e0caire/sewj au0tw=n (which is the reading of the LXX., ed. Tisch. 3, Lips. 1860), Tertullian's Latin seems to have read, sunete/lesan adikian e0c aire/sewj au0tw=n.

²¹¹ See Gen. xlix. 57 in LXX.; and comp. the margin of Eng. ver. on ver. 7, and Wordsworth in loc., who incorrectly renders tau=ron an "ox" here.

²¹² What the sense of this is it is not easy to see. It appears to have puzzled Pam. and Rig. so effectually that they both, conjecturally and without authority, adopted the reading found in adv. Marc. 1. iii. c. xvii. (from which book, as usual, the present passage is borrowed), only altering illis to ipsis.

²¹³ See Ex. xvii. 8-16; and comp. Col. ii. 14, 15.

²¹⁴ Ex. xx. 4.

²¹⁵ Their sin was "speaking against God and against Moses"(Num. xxi. 4-9).

²¹⁶ Comp. Col. ii. 14, 15, as before; also Gen. iii. 1, etc.; 2 Cor. xi. 3; Rev. xiii. 9.

²¹⁷ Comp. 2 Cor. xi. 14, 15; Matt.xxv. 41; Rev. xii. 9.

²¹⁸ Comp. de Idol. c. v.; adv. Marc. 1. iii. c. xvii.

²¹⁹ A ligno. Oehler refers us to Ps. xcvi. 10 (xcv. 10 in LXX.); but the special words "a ligno" are wanting there, though the text is often quoted by the Fathers.

²²⁰ Lignarium aliquem regem. It is not remarkable, in connection herewith, that our Lord is not only called by the Jews "the carpenter's son" (Matt.xiii. 55; Luke iv. 22), but "the carpenter" (Mark vi. 3).

²²¹ See Isa. ix. 6.

²²² Lignum.

²²³ See Jer. xi. 19 (in LXX.).

²²⁴ i.e., when they laid on Him the crossbeam to carry. See John xix. 17.

²²⁵ See John vi. passim, and the various accounts of the institution of the Holy Supper.

²²⁶ It is Ps. xxii. in our Bibles, xxi. in LXX.

²²⁷ Ver. 16 (17 in LXX.).

²²⁸ Ps. xxii. 21 (xxi. 22 in LXX., who render it as Tertullian does).

²²⁹ i.e., perhaps, because of the extreme ignominy attaching to that death, which prevented its being expressly named.

²³⁰ Isa. liii. 8, 9, 10, (in LXX.).

²³¹ Isa. lvii. 2 (in LXX.).

²³² Isa. liii. 12 (in LXX.). Comp., too, Bp. Lowth. Oehler's pointing again appears to be faulty.

²³³ See Amos viii. 9. 10 (especially in the LXX.).

²³⁴ Oehler's "esset" appears to be a mistake for "esse."

²³⁵ The change from singular to plural is due to the Latin, not to the translator.

²³⁶ See Ex. xii. 10-11.

²³⁷ See Matt. xxvi. 17; Mark xiv. 12; Luke xxii. 7; John xviii. 28.

²³⁸ Comp. 1 Cor. v. 7.

²³⁹ Saeculo

²⁴⁰ Comp. Isa. lxi. 2.

²⁴¹ Or possibly, simply, "sealed"-obsignatus.

²⁴² Inter mediam elam et inter medium altaris: i.e., probably = "between the porch and the altar," as the Eng. Ver. has.

²⁴³ So Oehler points, and Tischendorf in his edition of the LXX. points not very differently. I incline to read: "Because they have filled up the measure of their impieties, and, behold (are) themselves, as it were, grimacing, I will," etc.

²⁴⁴ Comp. Rev. i. 13.

²⁴⁵ "Quae fuit super eam" (i.e. super domum) "in subdivali domus" is Oehler's reading; but it differs from the LXX.

²⁴⁶ The ms. which Oehler usually follows omits "Tau;" so do the LXX.

²⁴⁷ Et in his dixit ad audientem. But the LXX. reading agrees almost verbatim with the Eng. ver.

²⁴⁸ Ezek. viii. 12-ix. 6 (especially in the LXX.). Comp. Adv. Marc. l. iii. c. xxii. But our author differs considerably even from the LXX.

²⁴⁹ Or rather in Deuteronomy. See xxviii. 65 sqq.

²⁵⁰ Or, "sole."

²⁵¹ In ligno. There are no such words in the LXX. If the words be retained, "thy life" will mean Christ, who is called "our Life" in Col. iii. 4. See also John i. 4, xiv. 6, xi. 25. And so, again, "Thou shalt not trust (or believe) thy life" would mean, "Thou shalt not believe Christ."

²⁵² Or, "in accordance with."

²⁵³ i.e., Would they have happened? And, by happening, have been their own proof?

²⁵⁴ Ps. ii. 7, 8.

²⁵⁵ Dispositionem; Gr. diaqh/khn.
